Weekend Movie Recap

040306_reels.jpgWondering how the premiere of Basic Instinct 2 or your other favorite new movie did at the box office this weekend? Here are your top three — hold on to your undies, Sharon:

1.) Ice Age: The Meltdown: $70.5 million (opening)
2.) Inside Man: $15.7 million (10-day total of $52.8 million)
3.) ATL: $12.5 million (opening)

Other notable openings include:

8.) Slither: $3.7 million
10.) Basic Instinct 2: $3.2 million

Which leaves Houstonist wondering: How does an animated film about animals in the ice age do 20 times better than the promise of a still-sultry Sharon Stone flashing us? Does it mean Stone won't be able to re-jump start her movie career? We hear she's working on an album (maybe using some of the $14 million she got paid for making Instinct 2). Those crazy animals from Ice Age will probably make an album that'll sell 20 times better than hers.

Check out the weekend's complete top 10.
